Get yo a** back to the plate, Molina.

[Brian]

hopefully Z realizes it's all about the socks

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 64-6 when they lead after 7 innings

 

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[inari]

Z should be allowed to finish this game if it looks like he's still strong. There's no need to hold to this three days rest routine.

[Schwarber Fan]

Why do players dive to 1B? Wouldn't it be faster to run past it? I mean, isnt sliding so you won't go past 2B, 3B, or avoid the tag at home?

 

Pretty old, well-discussed question. I believe there is some pretty good data that shows sliding slows you down, and should only be done to avoid the tag.

haha, this can't be legit

[TruffleShuffle]

[soccer10k]

Excellent job tonight, Z. 88 pitches through 7. Should be able to give us at least one more inning.

Z's pitch count anyone?

Agree, I don't trust Demp in this tight of a game anyway.

[Schwarber Fan]

eighty-eight

CUBS are 48-23 when their pitchers average 15 pitches per inning or less..... 27-48 when they don't

Same as the Cubs w/out Brendon Ryan counting

[dalgreen]

Amazing. Soriano made an out. You rarely see that. :x

 

He takes some of the worst 2-0 swings I've seen.

[inari]

Riot has been abysmal lately...

[Keener98]

Z's pitch count anyone?

 

eighty-eight

Alot will depend on the bottom of the inning

correct.

[Soul]

I dunno....one run lead doesn't seem like it's gonna do it even though it's Z. It's too close!

[Keener98]

Cairo Ryan Miles in the 8th. Means Pujols will bat in the 9th. This is why you dont use Marmol for 2 innings last night.
